In the first part of this session, you will understand the value of an organization specific competency model – tailored to the organizations unique needs and closely aligned to business strategy (INPO 23-002) – Ameren refreshed its enterprise-wide competency model reflecting the knowledge, skills, and behaviors most critical for the organization's success. The team engaged leaders across the business, researched and benchmarked models and leveraged INPO 19-003 Staying On Top to refresh the competencies, validated the model, rolled out the new model with significant leader engagement, and integrated these new competencies into talent processes (e.g., selection, development, performance management, succession planning) and as a key element of formal leadership development opportunities. Learn how a strong partnership with Human Resources and Nuclear site leaders has been leveraged to engage workers across all levels of the organization in embracing the refreshed enterprise-wide competencies to drive and sustain Nuclear excellence.
In the second part of this session, there will be a presentation entitled "Engagement: The Next Gen for Nuclear's Frontline." It will focus on how Entergy’s Nuclear sector enhanced their Frontline employee engagement, resulting in improved safety, operational effectiveness and cost savings. Employee Engagement is the secret sauce to driving business outcomes in the nuclear sector. Yet, according to Gallup’s national engagement data, only 33% of employees are fully engaged, which is defined as providing "discretionary effort". The session demonstrates how engagement, empowered Frontline employees to drive improved business outcomes. Utilizing Alignment Strategies’ proprietary engagement process, attendees will see the creation of a sustained engagement culture, owned by the Frontline supervisor, through their Frontline employees. It demonstrates how organizational goals can be exceeded when employees are empowered and can create highly engaged teams, who solve problems that matter.
